[B] All the sisters of [E] mercy, they [B] are not [F#]
departed [B] or gone.
[E]
[B] [D#m] They were waiting for [A#m] me when [G#m] I thought that I [A#m] just [F#] can't go on.
[B]
[F#] And [E] they brought me [B] their comfort [C#m] and later [G#m] they brought me [F#] this song.
[B] [F#]
Oh, [B] I hope you [E] run into them, [B] you [F#] who've been traveling [B] so long.
[E]
[A] [B]
[F#]
[B] Yes, you who [E] must leave [B] everything [F#] that you cannot [B] control.
[E]
[B]
It [D#m] begins with [A#m] your family, but [D#m] soon it comes [A#m] round [F#] to your soul.
Well, I've [B] been where you're hanging, [A]
I think I [G#m] can see how [F#] you're feeling.
When [B] you're not [E] feeling holy, [B] your Lord may [F#] never serve you as [B] you've [E] sinned.
[A] [B]

Well, [B] they lay down [E] beside me and [B] I made my [F#] confession [B] to them.

[D#m] They touched both [A#m] my eyes [D#m] and I touched [A#m] the dew on [F#] their hands.
If [E] your life is [B] a leaf [A] that the seasons [G#m] tear off and [F#]
condemn,
they [B] will bind you [E] with love that [B] is graceful [F#] and green [B] as a stem.

[B] left, they [E] were sleeping, I [B]
hope you [F#] run into them.

[G#m] Don't turn on the [A#m] lights, you can [G#] read their [A#m] address [F#] by the door.
And you [E] won't make me [B] jealous if [A] I hear that [G#m] they sweetened [F#] your night.
[C#] [F#]
We [B] were lovers [E] like that and [B] besides, it [F#] would still [B] be alright.
[E] [F#]
We [B] were lovers [E] like that and [B] besides, it [F#] would still be [B] alright.
